skaryguy Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Like Dolph Lundgren and Brigette Nielson? :DSeriously, I think Jaime looked more "identical" (I know that they are paternal) when they were younger. I am sure their gender changes after puberty (breasts & hips, muscles & voice) have differentiated them significantly. Jaime is described as a big strapping & dangerous looking guy (unlike Loras) even when he was only 15 (when he joined the Kingsguard). Cersei is all curves, boobs and legs, not waifish at all. Both Jaime and Cersei are described as beautiful, but they are the yin to the other's yang. The epitomy of masculinity and femininity. Just my 2 cents.EXACTLY like Lundgren and Nielson!! :DI can agree with what you're saying, and yes, Jaime is of course a "masculine guy", but for identical twins there has to be some similarity in features. They can of course focus more on their emotional connection rather than any physical similarities and ignore the fact that they were identical twins, and, hopefully, still make it work as well as it does in the book. They just need to make sure the two actors can act their proverbial socks off! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The .1% that are identical are the result of a genetic disease called Turner Syndrome in the girl(which almost always results in infertility).http://multiples.about.com/od/funfacts/a/boygirlident.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneeye Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I think they are both too old and though lena headey rocks she's too brooding to be cersei. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brude Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I think they are both too old and though lena headey rocks she's too brooding to be cersei.While she came off as brooding in both "Sarah Connor Chronicles" and "300," I have seen her in other roles and she can play some very different types. Try "Remains of the Day" or "Aberdeen" - these are very different characters than what you are probably more familiar with from her two most famous roles.

Ran Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Myrcella has been cast. Her name is Aimee (Aimee Richardson, I suspect), and her father tweeted it earlier in the day. More info here, including a link to a video which features her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed o' Tarth Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 This may or may not have been said before. I don't have the patience to go back through this thread.I think the -perfect- guy for Jaime would be Paul Bettany. PaulLenaGive them both full wigs of golden hair and I think they could pass for twins. Plus we all know Bettany has the acting chops to pull of Jaime.

Jaime and Cersei have, of course, already been cast. In fact, they've already been filming the pilot for the last few weeks. The best source for info on the pilot, now shooting, and everything else about the series is the wonderful Winter is Coming blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteshadow Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I think it was posted a few months back, but I always imagine Alan Dale (Charles Widmore from Lost) as Tywin. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0197638/Steeley eyes. :angry:I agree.Perfect, exactly the Tywin I had in my head. He is Tywin. He also never smiles :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_BlauerDragon Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I'd like to suggest Wayne Pygram for a terrific Tywin Lannister.Here's an additional photo link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_BlauerDragon Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hmm, give me some Scorpy! I could be on board with that.I was actually watching some of my old arscape DVDs after the thought of casting Gigi Edgely as Shay had hit me (to double check myself)... and I saw a few scenes with Scorpious where I just said to myself, give him some blond hair, and take away the S&M outfit and that's Tywin!

nightwisp1956 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I know it has been suggested a million times but I think Patrick Stewart would fit the role of Tywin very well.And, when his sister Genna was described in the books, the first name which came to mind was Dolly Parton(big bosomed, blonde hair).And, even though I think Lena Headey is a great pick for Cersei, my choice would be Kathryn Morris of Cold Case. She's blonde, attractive, and has a "bitchy" persona, and Kathryn has played some conniving ladies in her career.When it came to Jaime, I always thought of Matthew McCongnahey.As for Shae, Hilary Swank, maybe?

einsteinstongue Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 As for Shae, Hilary Swank, maybe?Not nearly hot enough. Dare I suggest someone like Megan Fox: http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=megan+foxAlso, sometimes when I think about Jaime, I picture blonde and younger tom cruise circa interview with the vampire.

nightwisp1956 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Another person who would be a fitting Tywin is the actor, Daniel Benzali! I saw him portray a Marshall Applewhite-type cult leader in the movie, The Believers, and it was chilling! He would be a terrific Tywin, about the right age and he certainly looks the part as well.

DizoakiusMaximus Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 It's too bad this wasn't being made about 10-15 years ago, when Cary Elwes could have done Jaime, now THAT is a Kingslayer if I've ever seen one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unJon Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Hands down, Will Patton should be Kevan Lannister. IMDBLooks exactly like I picture Kevan and has has pulled off the same termpermant I imagine Kevan having in numerous other roles. He has done TV before (CSI, Numbers, 24) and IMDB doesn't have him associated with any projects filming at the moment. Dave and Dan, please make is so. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeriMarie Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I will go ahead and add my support for the notion of Alan Dale for the role of Tywin Lannister. I don't know who brought his name up, but I think it is a great suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
